Objective: This study presents the concept of academic literacy and discusses the possibilities of university libraries to develop the skills necessary for the success of the academic community through a case study of the Center for Learning and Research (CRAI) of the Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF ) in Barcelona.
Methods: An exploratory and descriptive qualitative study that used bibliographic and documentary research techniques. Content analysis was carried out on web pages of universities in Europe and North America, whose libraries provide services of Academic Skills Center (ASC) - spaces for orientation and tutoring to university students with the purpose of assisting them in developing skills that enable them to take full advantage of their academic potential. We created categories of services that served as parameters for comparative study of the services provided by CRAI UPF available on its website.
Results: the CRAI UPF presents indications of action in the ASC model, in particular, regarding the use of information and communication technologies. However, it is not possible to say that it is an environment that favors the development of actions aimed at academic literacy, although it is possible to perceive that it presents potential for such an involvement.
Conclusions: From this case study it is believed that the BU can act in the field of academic literacy and, for such, should invest in partnerships with other sectors of the university in order to explore the possibilities of creating products and services aimed at development. of skills for the success of college life. This research is considered to be a starting point for many others, and it is hoped that the concepts and examples studied here may inspire the introduction of innovative academic literacy programs in university libraries of different contexts and places.
